I have the perfect spot for my bonsai trees, and we live in the woods, so my perfect spot is in the shade of the canopy for too long on summer days.
I strung these lights on a clothes rack above my shelves with shower curtain hooks and put them on a timer to fill in the when needed and they've worked perfectly. There is plenty of room between individual lights to cover the whole area, and i like being able to adjust the intensity of the
by how close individual plants are to the center of each light cone.
How far to place grow lights from the plant canopy?

lights are directly related to intended purposes. The led horticulture light emits photosynthetic photons that influence plants' growth and flowering maybe roots formation as well; red light helps the growth of stems and enlarge the area of plants'leaves and also has an effect on the flowering period and seed germination. Blue light affects the chlorophyll content and the thickness of leaves. It is one colour light we need to carefully use since if the adding proportion is inappropriate it will suppress certain plants.
Green light is benefit to the leaves in the lower canopy because it has a better penetration rate. Far red promotes extension growth.
No bulbs to replace, easy to clean, and simple to install. Grow elite led grow lights use up to 60% less energy than traditional hid grow lights to achieve the same results. Designed for the heavy use and harsh climate of indoor growing and are backed by our 5-year limited warranty. Proprietary plant growth spectrum designed by our team of professional growers.
Short answer: yes, led grow lights are better than fluorescent grow lights. Longer answer: seedlings and more mature plants can grow well under either fluorescent or led grow lights. If you already have a fluorescent grow light system like we do, there might not be any reason to replace it with an led system, assuming the bulbs still work well and you have plenty of room to grow all the plants you want. What are the benefits of led grow lights relative to fluorescents? led lights are far more energy efficient than fluorescents, delivering the same level of light to plants at about 50% of the energy output.
While plants benefit from the sunshine, water, and nutrient-rich soil, they will also enjoy a grow light led. Led grow lights are good for plants when placed within 1-3 feet of the plant and when they are a properly attuned combination of red, blue, and green colored leds. Plants will benefit greatly from an led plant light if they cannot be near a window to absorb natural light.
Are different grow lights necessary for different plant stages?
With over a decade’s worth of experience in researching plants and their relationship with light, we know a thing or two about led grow lights. Coupled with our drive for innovation, it’s easy to see how we’re able to consistently create lights which empower growers to produce crops that taste better, last longer, and take less energy to grow.
